Antique Chinese Oriental Carpets 2608

Chinese Rug, China, Early 20th Century - A delicate, lace-like pattern of abstract ivory clouds, dragons, leaves, and flowers unfolds across the warm cinnamon ground of this lovely antique Chinese. The elements in the center approximate an oval medallion, while those at the edges affect a border and cornerpieces. The richness of the design is nicely counterbalanced by the simple, two-tone palette.
